The Item in My Kit
I bought Pohaku 13-in-1 Multitool as part of my camper van equipment.
The Pohaku multitool is one of my purchased hand tools. My patio and outdoor work setups give the context for carrying compact tools between separate jobs.
A Compact Tool Choice for the Travel Kit
- I planned the storage assembly and simulated the roof dimensions on the patio.
- I built the timber drawer frame and base, then cut the rubber lining with scissors.
- I fitted the lining with adhesive, screws and washers before attaching the slides to the drawer and cabinet.
Camper Van Project Applications
A compact multitool combines functions for storage convenience, but each function still has its own reach and grip. It can be compared with dedicated tools in a small repair kit. Steven returned this one without use, so it has no firsthand van-work performance claim.

Product Details And Van-Build Uses
| Specification | Source Detail |
|---|---|
| Listed Functions | 13 tools in one folding body |
| Main Format | Pliers with folding implements |
| Listed Body Material | Stainless steel |
| Included Carry Item | Nylon sheath |
The Amazon listing combines pliers with folding cutting, driving and filing implements in a single body. A sheath keeps the folded tool in a compact carry format. For a small van repair kit, the appeal is storage space: several basic functions travel together instead of taking separate slots in a tool bag. The reach and grip of each function still differ from a full-size dedicated tool. I returned this multitool without trying it, so my page records the purchase and return rather than a performance review of its listed functions.
My Purchase and Use Status
By Steven Smith
I returned this multitool without using it. It did not become part of my van-build tool setup.
My Takeaway for the Build
Building the storage drawer involved several separate cutting and fastening tools. My Pohaku purchase serves the compact-kit side of that tool collection. Comparing its implements with the Gerber and Leatherman is useful because a multitool's actual selection, including the Wingman's scissors, determines which small jobs it can cover.
